The group walked to the garden courtyard. The servants had already prepared cutlery and food. Everyone was serving the dishes in an orderly manner. Grandpa Fang called for everyone to take a seat. âQuick, come and sit down. Youâre all family. Donât be restrained.â
Yuan Xiao had been following Grandpa Fang. Seeing that he had invited everyone to take a seat, she could only sit beside Grandpa Fang.
âXiao Xiao, do you have anything you donât like to eat?â Grandpa Fang looked at Yuan Xiao kindly, his tone very gentle.
âGrandpa Fang, I donât have anything that I donât like to eat. Iâm not picky.â Yuan Xiao looked at Fang Yao, who was sitting opposite her. She realized that Fang Yao was staring straight at her and felt that his gaze was a little too hot.
Yuan Xiao felt a little awkward. She coughed lightly and realized that Yue Ping was not present.
âAh Ze, whereâs Ping Ping?â Grandpa Fang asked Yue Ze, who was beside Fang Ming, when he realized that Yue Ping was not present.
âI didnât see her either.â Yue Ze had been watching Fang Ming and Yuan Xiao play chess and did not notice Yue Ping. âGrandpa Fang, donât worry. Iâll call her now.â
After saying that, Yue Ze took out his phone and was about to dial when he saw Yue Ping walking over with a servant carrying a plate.
âPing Ping, where did you go?â Yue Ze did not know what she was planning to do again, but she seemed to be quite happy. Nothing bad must have happened.
âIâve been helping in the kitchen just now.â Yue Ping took the servantâs tray and opened the lid of the exquisite small porcelain pot. She scooped a spoonful of milky white fish soup and placed it in a small bowl. She brought it to Grandpa Fang and said with a smile, âGrandpa Fang, my mother taught me to cook fish soup. It tastes delicious. Moreover, this fish soup is good for the spleen and stomach. It helps digestion and increases immunity. Itâs very suitable for you to drink.â
âPing Ping is so considerate.â Grandpa Fang smiled and took the spoon from Yue Ping. He scooped a spoonful of fish soup from the white porcelain bowl and drank it. âItâs indeed not bad. I didnât expect Ping Ping to be so good at cooking even though sheâs young.â
Yue Ping liked the feeling of being praised. She eagerly scooped fish soup for Fang Ming and Fang Yao.
Yue Ze looked at his extremely virtuous sister and muttered in his heart. He had lived with Yue Ping for almost 20 years, but he did not know that she had the ability to cook. Yue Ping had always been pampered and had not even entered the kitchen a few times.
Yue Ze felt that the delicious fish soup in front of him definitely had nothing to do with her. However, he did not expose Yue Ping. After all, she was his biological sister.
Fang Ming also took a sip of the fish soup and casually praised Yue Ping. From the corner of his eye, he saw Fang Yao sitting at the side with no intention of drinking the soup.
Fang Ming cleared his throat, deliberately raised his voice and said with a chuckle, âPing Pingâs culinary skills are indeed very good. The fish that Xiaoxiao caught is also really fresh. Such good culinary skills also need to be matched with good ingredients so that we can all have such good food.â
âThatâs right, the fish that Xiao Xiao caught is huge!â Meng Zhu looked at Grandpa Fang and deliberately exaggerated, âGrandpa, you didnât see the scene at that time. If Fang Yao didnât help pull her, Xiao Xiao would have been caught by the fish!â
The old man was amused by Meng Zhuâs words and the atmosphere at the dining table relaxed. Yue Ping sat back down angrily. She did not know why everyoneâs gaze kept landing on Yuan Xiao.
Meng Zhu looked at Yue Ping, who was sitting beside her, and felt that she was really shameless. It was clearly Xiao Xiao who had caught the fish, but with just a few casual words from her, it had all become her credit.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
If it wasnât for Brother Fang Ming speaking up for her, Yuan Xiao would not have been given any credit. Because Meng Zhu was dissatisfied with Yue Ping, she did not give her a good look either.
Yuan Xiao could see that Meng Zhu was standing up for her, but she did not really care. Yue Ping was willing to perform, and Yuan Xiao had no objections. As long as she did not deliberately come and annoy her, Yuan Xiao would not make things difficult for her.
Fang Yao looked at the fish soup with a complicated expression. This fish soup was made by Yue Ping and served to him by her. Fang Yao could not accept it, but he had caught this fish with Yuan Xiao after all. Fang Yao still wanted to try it.
Fang Ming noticed Fang Yaoâs troubled expression and could guess what he was thinking. Fang Ming smiled and lowered his body, whispering in Fang Yaoâs ear, âHurry up and drink it. This is a fish Xiao Xiao caught.â
